Archiver should be adding "Created-By: Apache Maven _2.0.4_" to the manifest
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: MNG-2634
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2634
             Project: Maven 2
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: maven-archiver
    Affects Versions: 2.0.4
            Reporter: Matthew Beermann


The maven-archiver currently adds the string "Created-By: Apache Maven" to the 
manifest of all projects. This is good, but it needs to be more specific - e.g. 
Apache Maven 2.0.4. This would have two major benefits:
  1) It would bring it in line with the "Build-Jdk" field, which has values 
like "1.5.0_09"
  2) It would help in having truly repeatable builds - potentially, you need to 
know which version of Maven was used to build an artifact

I'd write the patch myself if I could figure out how to get at the 
information... it's in a @component called "runtimeInformation", but how do you 
access components from a low-level library like maven-archiver?
